At Discovery Place, we make science and hands-on learning accessible to everyone.
That’s why we are hosting a special Sensory-Friendly Hours at Discovery Place Science!

We’ve crafted these low-sensory hours for families with sensory sensitivities and special needs to enjoy the Museum’s hands-on exhibit spaces in a calmer and quieter environment.

During your visit to the Museum, families can experience a sensory-friendly IMAX show or even check out sensory backpacks with noise-canceling headphones, sensory-friendly toys and manipulatives.

Additionally, throughout the Museum, you’ll find special SciPod stations offering minds-on activities designed to engage multiple senses. The SciPod experiments provide an inclusive way for all guests with sensory sensitivities, to enjoy and learn from our exhibits.
